Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's been a long time reason.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Your mission should you choose to excel everything, everything you've done,
Let's come to this. I need to trust me.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
One last time.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That is the thirty second spot promoting the Memorial Day
weekends blockbuster film mission Impossible, the final Reckoning likely showing
at a theater near you. Rein schuling live back with
you here on a Friday edition, sending into your Memorial
Day weekend. Maybe it's already begun. You know, we're supposed
to get early release here at iHeart Denver, but that
(00:50):
didn't pan out for Zach and yours truly, so we're here.
We're here bringing you the hits, bringing you the goods,
and hopefully that might be one of them for you
this weekend, to go out to the theater and joy
as show on the big screen with the surround sound,
maybe on the Imax. That's how I watched it with
Christian Toto earlier. I think it was now almost two
weeks ago, and he offered up his review of this
(01:13):
at Hollywoodantoto dot com. Now, sadly Christian himself and Deborah
neither could stick around, so you're stuck with me for
this final hour.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Five seven seven three nine. Send those texts along.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
We'll get to Zach's pick for our Friday Fool of
the Week in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But Tom Cruise not one of those.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
He is perhaps the last action hero in more ways
than one, the last Hollywood box office straw. Then get
people out of their couches, off of the streaming services
into the theaters to watch a movie like this one.
Sometimes I wish that Toto and I and never rule
this out. Maybe in the future it could happen. But
(01:51):
a Cisco and Ebert type film review show he knows
way more about film. He's forgotten more about film than
probably I'll ever know. But I know what I like,
and some times were in kind of conflict with one another,
And a lot of times that comes.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Down to what I observe and where my.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Baseline expectations are for a film and do they match.
For instance, when I saw Axel F, the long awaited
sequel to the Beverly Hills Cop original, I think it
was a trilogy right in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The original is one of my all time favorites. And
you can understand why he's a Detroit cop.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Gil Hill, the actual chief of the Detroit Police back
in nineteen eighty four, stars as himself.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
In the film, and it's him. It's him. He also
ran for mayor Detroit at one point.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
But I just like the juxtaposition of here's this hardened
Detroit cop at a time when Detroit was probably at
its worst in the mid eighties after the riots of
the late sixties, and it was a desolate wasteland. You know,
Devil's Night, Ear hear of that, that's the night before Halloween.
Hey fires all the time, house is burning out. And
I'm talking classical houses with Gothic type architecture from the
(02:58):
turn of the century, the nineteen hundred, turn of the century,
and it was a sad time in Detroit, and a
lot of the downtown was a barren wasteland, kind.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Of what Denver's turning into right now.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But you take Axel Foley and his kind of street
smart sensibilities and put.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Him in Beverly Hills where they're not used.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
To dealing with big time crime, and the results are
both hilarious and gripping from an entertainment standpoint. One of
my all time favorite films. Beverly Hills comp Now, I
go into Axel left then going you know what it's
got to be good. It's got to be good. He's
got to deliver, and I just don't think it didn't.
I believe Christian liked it. I wouldn't say I hated it,
(03:36):
but if I had to give it thumbs up or
thumbs down, it's a thumbs down because I didn't feel
like they fleshed out enough of the backstory.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Catch us up on the life of Axel Foley. You know,
in the interim he has this falling out with his daughter.
We have no idea why they never paint in the
details there, and I felt kind of let down by that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So that would be one example.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Now, on the other sides of the spectrum entire, I
rather enjoyed Mission Impossible, the Final Wrecking. I had not
seen how many are there eight of them. I've not
seen all of them, and if you have, you'll probably
love this as part of the franchise. But Christian goes
into this, I think, and rightfully so, holding it up
to the standard that some of the original set and
doesn't measure up. And in his review, which you'll find
(04:19):
at Hollywoodantoto dot com, short version, there are some hits,
but maybe a few more misses.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Kind of a tepid review from Christian. I liked it
a bit more.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I always like to go on the IMDb scale of
I'll go through in all these movies. I'm such a nerd,
and it allows you, as you log in and have
an account with IMDb, the Internet Movie database, to score
a film from a scale of one star to ten. Okay,
and for instance for me, Shawshank, Redemption, Goodfellas, both Godfathers,
(04:52):
those are ten star movies, and that's a special category.
I don't just give out tens. But it takes a
lot for me to give like a fib or be law,
it has to be a real horrible movie, like an
old timer. I would give Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning
a solid six, solid six. I thought Tom Cruise was
excellent in it. I like him, I like the Ethan
Hunt character. But I think Christian felt that it was
(05:15):
a little bit overplayed. So I'll let you judge for
yourselves as to whether or.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Not you enjoy it. Have you seen this movie? Ye, yes, Zach.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I'm not sure if it's been for public consumption before
this weekend at all early release in theaters.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I haven't, and I'm honestly delaying because I'm trying to
go back through and marathon the precursors, because hey, if
this is the last one, let's see and it seems
from the trailer there's tie backs to the first several.
I'm curious to kind of revisit those and then go
into the theater experience one of.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
These things too.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I've gotten to the point now where if it's Tom
Cruise and I just like him.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Okay, I know he's got the weird scientology thing.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
But I tell you what, I share his views on
an over medicated America, and he was kind of front
of the curve on that one. Going on a thing
was a Matt Lauer at the time of the Today's Show,
I want to say it was late two thousands, saying
that we can't just put kids on drugs, or people
on drugs for that matter, any depressence, that this is
not the solution. You need therapy, You need to go
through and work through your issues. You need to address
(06:15):
root causes and not just put a band aid over
the problem. And it turns out, I think in larger
guard he's been proven right. Tom Cruise was also instrumental,
in my view in reviving the theater experience of going
to the movies when we were on a very dark
path in my mind from a mental health standpoint of
being shut ins because of COVID.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh, we're all going to lock it down, and that's okay.
We're just going to listen to what the government tells
us to do. Govern me harder, daddy.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And I got to a point where I like, no, no,
because you're telling me that I've got to stay home,
and now I'm questioning it. I don't want to do that.
I don't want to do that. And Tom Cruise went
on with Pat McAfee. You might remember him. He's the
punter for the Indianapolis Colts who has become one of
the more popular talk show hosts in the podcast sphere
and is highly sought after.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Is he an ESPN now? Is that who he's employed
by with the NFL?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And that's a huge show he really does, and I'm
sure that you consume a lot of that content that
he provides.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, he's got a lot of great interviews.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
You know, you have like Bill Belichick on weekly during
the season and some good diddits.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And this was one of them.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Because Tom Cruise comes down and explains, you know how
he helped. And I think he was the kind of
tip of the spear here, the driving force behind getting
Hollywood back to work at a time. And that was
not a popular stance to take when everybody said, no,
we can't risk the lives of all the people involved
in these films, never mind the fact that they're not
being paid, they're not working on projects. You know, they're
(07:39):
starving artists almost in a literal sense. Tom Cruise kept
the production going for Top Gun Maverick and here's how
he did the end around to borrow football term.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
You know, we had to finish Top Gun Maverick in
post during COVID, and I was basically everyone was kind
of like, no, you can't do this, No, you can't
do that. I was like always going take no for
an answer really bad. I'm like, okay, well there's got to.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Be a solution. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
So I was calling like, we have to set up
the rules. Let's make agreements so that we can get
back to work, and that I was calling governments and
getting agreements within and that I was telling sharing it
with the other studios and my friends, saying this is
how we're doing it. And then just kind of saying,
my crew is gonna get paid during this time. I
just kept everybody working.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's what I love about Tom Cruise, especially this ethos,
this this mentality of I'm not gonna accept no for
an answer.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Failure is not an.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Option, almost like Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. Right, how
do we view this positively? How do we reach our goal?
How do we make this a success? You know, do
not accept the alternative this. We're gonna get it done.
We're gonna find a way. I'm gonna make it happen.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes. I mean, I love
this from Tom Cruise, and here are some more specifics
(08:50):
as to how he got this done.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It was nothing short of a miracle for Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
And then slowly and not so slowly, before you know it,
we're able to just make sure that we're creating even
our orchestra for Top Gun Maverick. We were able to
get mics to people's apartments all over the world where
they're recording their instruments, and then combining those instruments to
create a live orchestra, and just showing people, look, we
(09:15):
can do this, we can do it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Safely. Let's create whatever rules so that we can move forward.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
And that's what I did, and I ensured the Top
Gun Maverick did not go to streaming, that it was
held for distribution. And I was calling all the theater
owners globally that are my friends for decades, and the
studio heads and all of us kind of said, look,
this movie's coming.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Out, period, it is coming out in theaters, and just kind.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Of worked with everyone and said, look, we're all going
to get through this. We're going to get through it.
It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It's amazing the power of positive thinking, but through persuasion
that you can have that effect on others who might
be naysayers. They might be negative mellies, but when Tom
Cruise comes, you go, no, we're going to do this movie.
It's going to come out in theaters. It's happening, so
you might as we'll get behind it. It's amazing the
impact of that force of will from Tom Cruise and
(10:06):
getting that movie done, getting it in theaters, and having
it revive again. The entire experience of going to the
movies for me, it was.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Like a.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Travel back in time, a reclamation project that made me
love movies again. I mean, I do love movies, but
I remember why I loved movies and.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Why it was so special to.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Go see them in the theater and not wait until
it came out on streaming services. So credit to Tom Cruise, really,
I mean, he helped drive this force. And I think
we're almost all the way back here. Calendar, you're twenty
twenty five, and hopefully we'll be all the way back
soon enough. But I still see some people out there
wearing masks.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Don't do that. Don't be one of those.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Full the week we got nominees, I want to get
Zach's take on this as well as yours. Five seven
to seven, three nine. You can send those votes in.
Got a couple coming in for James comey, he's one
of the nominees.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
The Seashells, the eighty six forty seven and the ridiculous
story that his wife and I and him.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And my wife and I I didn't do it. His
wife and Jim coming upon these shelves. Somebody else put
them together.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Jared Polis on thirteen twelve, giving this false choice a
year in the workplace or a year at home and
you can't be disrespectful in the workplace, but it's not
a First Amend of violation.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
He doesn't mention any of the other public.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Places you might go And are our First Amendment rights
protected or are we more concerned about the feelings of
a transgender person being misgendered or dead named and is
it actionable? He doesn't get into that, A real shallow
kind of response to Ross Kaminski on his program this week.
Ross did a good job. Jared Polis did not. Jake
(11:46):
Tapper Alex Thompson each nominated in their own special way
for this book that they wrote about Joe Biden and
the cognitive disconnect that they have between eight.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You guys should have realized it yourselves in real time.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You don't think to question these narratives. You just take
what your spoon fed by the Biden administration and assume
everything when according to plan. Just like Doctor Evil with
the sharks, they have laser beams on their hands. Are
gonna assume everything went according to the plan? No, no,
if you would if it were Trump, rightfully, I gotta
take their word for it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm gonna do my own research.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm gonna do my own journal lisming, and they didn't
do that, I mean, just path the least resistance because
they couldn't afford to cost You'll Biden the election if
he were the nominee. So all those nominees, zach, your
quick take, your quick vote, you matter.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Lots of good contenders this week. I think to me,
the James Comey one stands out the most because not
only it's like you must have put those who's taken
photos of random c show I don't know alignments or
a replacements during a beach throw. I've never heard of
anyone doing that before. And then I think most people
could say, oh, I thought eighty six was like when
(12:53):
I worked in a restaurant, it's like, get this guy
out of here. I don't think like the former director
of the FBI can be like that's what.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Now, I also will say I think he did mean like,
let's just get the guy out office, not let's assassinate him.
But still like it's just I think it's really trying
our intelligence.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
In a vacuum, in the void.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I completely agree with you in any take that James,
call me any person saying.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Eighty six forty seven, oh, we want to get rid
of Trump.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
You're right, However, we operate in reality, and what actually
happened in this past calendar year was there was an
attempt on Donald Trump's life. Inches away from blowing his
head off in Butler, Pennsylvania, he was grazed.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
In the ear by a bullet. We can never forget this.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
So in the context of that actually happening, then no,
it is not conceivable that James Comy, to your point
former director.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Of the FBI about it's no big deal. It is
a big deal, and it's not right, and it's not
that I want to cancel him, but it's like we're
talking about earlier.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's free speech. You can say whatever he wants. He
will pay a consequence in the arena of ideas. I
believe that he has. He's had to backtrack off of that.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He's selling a book.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Johnny from Jesse Waters Prime Time confront him and a
book signing. It was hilarious. I haven't seen it, Google it,
check it out online. And they had this guy. I
gotta say this, Okay, it just figures it's a bookstore.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He's signing a book.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
James Comy and the guy that comes in to intervene
and escort Johnny out has gauges.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
In his ears, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So your ear lobe is like stretched out, there's this
big hole with a caliber, you know, gauge in there.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I wonder who he voted for.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I'm just come on, absolutely, Ralph says Ryan journalisming question marks.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Lmaoh.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, that's a very sardonic and intentionally sarcastic term for
somebody that's trying to do the act of journalism as
a verb, but they're obviously not. I just use that
as a punchline. I don't think it's original to me,
but I like using it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Journalisming, that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
And that's of those that pretend to be an objective reporter,
but they're absolutely not. The case point example I use
on a regular basis is Comrade Kyle here locally on
nine News Denver. Now he appeals to a swathe of
an audience that gets big ratings, you know, credit to him, Denver, Boulder.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's the corridor he's going for. That's the one he's getting.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I believe they're the top rated television news because of that.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That's fine, but all all Kyle Clark would need.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
To do to me is come out the way that
I have and say I have an editorial position. It
is oriented left of center. I am a liberal and
take everything I say with a grain of salt for
what it's worth. As I say about my positions, by
and large are right of center, not all of them,
not necessarily by the traditional sense. But I want to
be honest with the audience about where I'm coming from.
(15:46):
Who I am, who you would talk to if you
and I were hanging out at JD's shot having a beer.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
This is the guy you would talk to.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And I don't say anything differently other than I swear
a little bit less on the air, a little bit
a lot less, I hope. But yeah, full the week
vote coming in, Jake Tapper and will continue to count
those through the end of today's program. Here's another Texas
one on what I was just discussing with Tom Cruise
Ryan with.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
The cinematography of the planes flying was as much the
story as the story was. You cannot experience that film
on a small screen the way you do in a
large one. I'm glad Tom held it out and I'm
glad I saw it on a big screen.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Here here one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
It's not that I endorse everything that Tom Cruise is says,
or does you know a little.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Weird that he's with some much much younger women.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I'll be it there, beautiful, and you know, he can
do whatever he wants to do on a personal level.
That's his business, even though he's a Hollywood star. I
just like what he stands for in the filmmaking realm.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And that he was kind of standing in.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
The breach the bulwark, not the website, Bill Crystal, but
the literal bulwark against being sedentary, staying at home is
shut ends, never going out to the theaters again.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I mean, remember back, people, wasn't that long long ago?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Okay, calendar year twenty twenty, even into twenty twenty one,
and there were people, many of whom that you were
rightfully scared because we didn't know what we didn't know.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
But they were all too willing.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
To surrender to our government, to our leaders who became
neo fascist Gretchen Whitmer, Jared Paulis, wear Dan mask, selfish bastards. Yeah,
real libertarian thereared What a phony fraud. I mean, I
want to vote for him just on a principle for
fool of the week because he's not a libertarian. There
is nothing about Jared Poulis his actions in office as
(17:35):
governor that is remotely libertarian, and he still presents himself
as this. Oh, I was really good friends with Thomas
Massey when I was in the house. That seems like
a lifetime ago. Maybe he was quasi libertarian there. He
is not now. He is dictatorial. He is in your face.
He is a government interventionist when it comes to guns,
when it comes to transing the kids. He tried to
(17:56):
kind of absolve himself of this in his interview with
Roskamenski by saying, hey, they took the real kind of
caustic language out about mis gendering dead naming.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
But the essence of the bill remains, if you.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Don't acknowledge the gender identity of your child, the child
that you conceived, if you're a woman, the child you
gave birth to, that you raised, who you named, who
you've cared for, who you've provided food, shelter, clothing for.
If that child comes to you says I'm the opposite
gender and you say no, guess what.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That can and will be used in a court of
law in Colorado to take your children away from you.
That is nuts, that is fascist, and.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
That is being fought in the course now by parent
rights groups. And I believe that's going to go all
the way to the Supreme Court, and Jared Poulos will
be revealed for the fraudulent quasi pseudo libertarian that he
was and is a timeout when we come back. Animals
are great, says Greg Guttfeld, but they're kind of scary.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Ryan's showing life.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Video that shows prison guards and Costa Rica catching a drug.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Smuggler and the culprit.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
As you can see, it's furrie and has four legs.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Guards coughed his cat as it jumped.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Over the prison fence at night with marijuana and crack
taped to its body.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Guard's carefully tough as packages from the cat's tiny body.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Removing the drugs from the fur.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Prison officials handed over that cat to an animal health
service to be checked out.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
No, my predecessor in this time slot, one Leland Conway,
notoriously has an aversion to cats. I would consider myself
more cat gnostic. Yeah, you got your dad joke for
a Friday. You're welcome, by the way, but actually that's
not even accurate.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I love cats for the most part.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I've gotten to a point in my life as I've
gotten older where.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I think I prefer dogs. I have a dog, Bruce.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
In fact, my fiance Kelsey has accused me of stealing Bruce.
I met her last August and Bruce was still but
a pop about one year old.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And initially I.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Think one of the things, one of the reasons we're
still together, why we're engaged, is Bruce immediately took a
liking to me, and she trusted Bruce as a judge
of character. And she has pointed out that she's gone
to say AA meetings where there were certain guys that
she thought were a little sketch, and Bruce growled at them,
so kind of a truth teller. Right, Well, he loved me,
(20:36):
and she said the first time I came over, we
hung out, we watched the movie or something, and I laughed.
He was crying for like the next half hour because
I was gone. It was so heartwarming to hear that.
But then over time, Hey, I got admit, he's kind
of become my dog. I don't know why, and I
feel a little bit bad about it because it does
feel like I kind.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Of swooped in and stole him.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Solution to that, though, is we're going to get another
puppy tomorrow, Chelsey and myself.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
It is one of these Muyan poodles.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I believe it's like a medium sized poodle, so not
a toy or teacup. Right, there's teacup poodle toy, then
there's the muyan and the standard poodle is like a
little pony.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You can almost ride, they're that big.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
But those are the ones that always like, do really well,
like the movie Best in Show, and they got little
little butt patches that you kind of cut out on
their hips keep them warm. This one's in between.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Size and that's what Bruce is. He's a He's a
wheaten terrier poodle mixed. So they call him a woodle.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I don't know if you pronounced the h like hoodle,
but it's at that like a labradoodle, but a woodle.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So what happens in the mornings. She's an early bird.
I'm a night out.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I stay up late. He hangs out with me. We
do guy stuff. We watch sports on TV.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Loves it. I think he loves it. We go to bed,
she wakes up, takes him out. What does he do?
He comes right back in the bedroom WHEREYE am, and
it's so sweet. He'll right down on.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
The floor next to the bed by me until I
wake up, because I think he's checking. He's a herding
dog kind of thing, like an Australian shepherd.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He might remember that. They're that type of dog.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
They want heard, they're people, and he wants to make
sure I haven't died. I think that's the number one
motivation for Bruce is he thinks I might be dead.
And so if you ever see in the news Runyan
trulating pass is away. I found so many Two hours
later his dog was still by his side. That's what
you're going to hear and see. And today we had
(22:34):
some maintenance staff come to the apartment. They were installing
a water heater for what seemed like two hours. Tried
to put him in the guest bedroom and Bruce didn't
like that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
We had to keep him away from the workers.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
So I went out on the patio, had my coffee
and Kelsey comes out of me. She goes he mind
at first joins you like, of course he can. He
came out and he was fine with me as long
as I was there just hanging out.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
He's my buddy, he's my pal. So that's the story
of dogs with me.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Now this drug cat, however, this was CBS Chicago. There's
so many things that's like mad Libs here. You know,
you fill out, you remember mad Libs. You gen xers
out there, drugs smuggling, cat nabbed by prison officials in
Costa Rica, strapped with marijuana and crack.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Now I've been I've been.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Watching Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount with Jeremy Renner and
it takes place in this fictitious Michigan city that's downtrodden,
has a prison and they were using like drones to
drop drugs in or you know what have you. And
now apparently you can just use a cat. This poor
(23:45):
cat scratch fever. I mean, you got the crack scatter
scratch fever. But this is not even the wildest animal
story I have for you today.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I did some digging.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
It didn't take long, and I found two local stories
with animals that should be concerning to you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
This one from.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Nine News rabbit bat found in Boulder. I don't think
this is the first time this has happened either. I
look back on some Google searches and apparently it's happened
a few years ago. The rabbit bats, folks, they're back
in Boulder. It might be a joke there, I'll let
you fill in the blanks. The bat reportedly tested positive
for rabies after it came into contact with a dog
(24:21):
on the outdoor deck of a Boulder home.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't even know rabbit bats coming around, Bruce. That's
what it says here.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Though, according to a Friday release from Boulder County Public Health,
the bat might have had contact with a second dog.
To release said, but that information has not been confirmed.
We await reporting on this.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Is this going to be like, you know, a spider Man,
Peter Parker gets bitten by spider gets special powers. I
don't imagine that a dog getting bitten by a rabbit
bat becomes like bat dog. Now, Bruce is actually named
Bruce Wayne, and so he is Batman.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But I don't need him getting bitten by a rabbit
bat to prove that he's.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm kind of superhero he is anyway, So no rabbit bats.
That's a little concerning. And then there's this one. Police
ask residents not to disturb napping bear in loan tree.
Not that it's that is the locale Loan Tree, you know,
park Meadows south of Denver, not alone in a tree.
(25:21):
It's kind of confusing the headline. If you're not from Colorado,
it might not make sense. But let's get to the
details of this. From Kadivr. That's Fox thirty one. Locally,
police are keeping an eye on a bear spot an
in Loan Tree and asking residents to keep kids inside
and not approach the bear. The Lone Tree Police Department
was alerted to the bear sighting near C four seventy
(25:41):
on Thursday and said it left the area around four pm.
Police posted an alert on Facebook Friday just before eleven
thirty am, saying that the bear had returned. Return of
the bear look at this. The bear was spotted napping
in a bush in the Heritage Hills neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
To police, the bears just got tired. He needs to
take a break.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
The department said it is moditoring the situation and said
the Division of Wildlife is aware.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
At this time, no action is being taken.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The department said residents are asked to not approach the
bear and keep children inside. This is a little bit
funnier to me, as a michigander because we have actually
a state park, a national park called Sleeping Bear Dunes.
You or to the dunes. They're named after a sleeping bear.
You may even see a sleeping bear there. Do not
disturb a sleeping bear. This should go without saying. It's Darwinism.
(26:33):
I get it, but I think it bears mentioning since yeah,
I said it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Another dad joke. Yeah, two good bears mentioning. Get it?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Every year, it seems especially it seems like in the springtime,
there are tourists who go to Yellowstone National Park.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I think most of you know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
And there are bison, and I'm not saying they're tame,
but they're not that afraid of humans. So you'll go
driving through and you might see several bison on the road,
and these morons decide they're going to approach a bison
and try to get close up pictures.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Use your telescopic lens on your camera to get a
close up photo. Because invariably we get these reports from
Kathy Walker, Rob Dawson, Kowa all the time man gored
by bison in a close encounter on roadway. Don't approach
(27:32):
the bison. They got those sharpened horns. They'll gore you
with them. Respect mother nature. You're not supposed to go
up to them and like pet them or they don't
want that. In fact, i've seen a few. You know,
you got Darwinism here. But you got parents involved. They
got kids in the back seat and they lower they
roll the window down and the kids leaning out and
(27:54):
the bison comes.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Up give boom, just boom, hit them right in the face.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
So we gotta be smart, be smarter than the bison,
and don't disturb the bears.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Don't feed the bears either.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So we got a crack cat, We've got a rabid bat,
we've got a sleeping bear. Garden variety animal experiences here
in Colorado. Take this final time out and we come back.
We'll have our Friday Fool of the week. I don't
know where Kelly is. It's like, where's Kelly's, where's Waldo?
Where does she go? I don't know why does she
go there? Don't know that either. Does she come back? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Maybe? Don't know for sure.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Though, we got Heidigan all filling in for Dan Kaplis
on this Friday as well, sending you into your Memorial
Day weekend after this on Ryan Schouling Life Friday edition
of Ryan Schooling Live, delivering the Memorial Day weekend for you.
Zach has a hand in that as well. Your text
(28:49):
at five seven, seven, three nine. Still a minute or
two to vote on our Friday Fool the Week. Jared Polis,
James Coming, Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson. Those are your nominees.
Another movie that I would recommend. I mentioned I do
the IMDb scale and so six for the New Mission Impossible,
a little bit better than average, and I think if
you're a fan of the franchise Tom Cruise, you'll like it.
(29:10):
Toto was pretty mediocre in the Middle of the Road
on it as well. But Marvel Studios with Thunderbolts David Harbor,
who I love, he was the sheriff and Stranger.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Things in that final season is coming out in October
on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
He plays a Russian superhero in this former Soviet kind
of throwback and he provides a lot of comic relief
and what is an interestingly serious themed movie. And I'll
summarize it this way to not spoil at all. Julia
Louis drive Has actually plays the villain Elaine from Seinfeld
in this so that's interesting. But it addresses the topic
(29:49):
of mental illness mental health in a way that I've
never seen a superhero movie do. And they got all
these like B list superheroes that's by design, that's intentional,
and they together and they're the Thunderbolts. And you'll find
out why when you see the movie. I think that's
still in theaters. If it is, I would give that
a seven. I really thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish,
(30:10):
and it was a fun ride, especially for the little
ones out there.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I think they can watch it too. Let's get to
some text.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Five seven seven three nine Stephen Littleton, retired a law
enforcement officer, wishing you a good and reflective Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I like how you said that, Stephen.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yes, Memorial Day is more than just kind of the
kickoff day to summer in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You put your boats out in the lake and you
have a big barbecue and gathering and family and.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Friends, and that's all well and good, but the real
reason for the season, so to speak, is remembering those
who served and gave the ultimate measure, paid the ultimate
price in service to our country and those who are
we are remembering on Memorial day, Alexa is saying about
the sleeping bear in the neighborhood. Their parents, Our parents
(30:58):
live in that neighborhood. Just be careful. If you see
a bear sleeping in the bushes, leave him or her
bee It's fine. You're probably not going to be in
any kind of danger. The only exception, there's a reason
why they call people like Kelly and mama bear, is
if there's little cubs around. Oh boy, you want to
steer clear, because she will eviscerate you. I mean tear
(31:20):
your guts out of your belly to defend her babies.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
That's what a mama bear does.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
This one I got to get to this NBC News
pulling this sleight of hand. It's intentional and we always
have the course critiquing mass media.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
They are focusing in on the Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Administration's move on Thursday to van Harvard from enrolling international students.
Now there's been another liberal judge pop in and pop
up and put a stay on this. I don't know
how this can continue the Supreme Court of the United States.
SE's a step and you can't just have any random
judge you find going judge shopping in the most liberal
of area, San Francisco, Washington, d C. New York City,
(32:00):
just putting injunctions on everything the President of the United
States tries to do. I would say the same in
reverse if it were a Democratic president. You just want
to rural podunk Indiana and got a judge to do
the same. It's ridiculous. The judiciary, especially at that level,
should not have that kind of veto power over the
president of the United States. Anyway, NBC News, this is
(32:20):
how they frame this. The future Queen of Belgium may
face complications pursuing her master's degree at Harvard amid the
Trump administration's move on Thursday to ban the Ivy League
school from enrolling international students. They know, well and good,
that's not who we're concerned about, Heidi Ganal. It is
the America hating pro vamas, anti Semitic scourge that is
(32:44):
happening on American college campuses nationwide. And they try to
kind of cherry pick this example of oh, the future
Queen of Belgium and so no offense. But the suburban
women who still subscribe to People magazine and watch entertainment tonight,
they're gonna go, oh.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
No, not the Queen of Belgium. Ale.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Right, Well, after spending six years as a regent at
the University of Colorado and seeing.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
The Yeah, by the way, for doing that.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Oh, it was crazy during COVID and cancel culture and
all the things. But there is a lot of stuff
that goes down. In fact, at CSU, not SEU, China
was funding a lot of things that China's institute, China
do that again, China Confucius Institute.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Confucius says, when I'm gonna have it anymore, okay, you.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Get three and a half four years of that. I'm
so happy for you. I do.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I love it. I love it. But what about this
Confucians Institute.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Well, it's basically the Chinese funding research at college campuses,
and it's totally shady and it happens all over the
country and.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Other bad actors too.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
I ran, so I put forward a resolution to stop
that at see you.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I don't think it passed. I can't remember.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
I've blocked a lot of that from my part, right,
but yeah, it was. There was a lot of shenanigans
going on behind the scenes in high ed.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Now, what's the worst of the three or the most
fun shenanigans? Tom foolery or hijinks. Oh, you gotta pick one.
I like hijinks.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I do too. Hijinks is just willing nelly hijinks. OHI.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
And we have that to look forward to coming up
in Dan Cathlis's spot at four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
What else can the people count on listening for?
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Well, I have a very special guest, like a very
special guest, my daughter Tory Is.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
She's twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
She's on the front lines of like young conservative culture,
and we're going to talk about that, talk about Colorado.
She's the National committee woman for the Coward of Young Republicans.
And then we're also going to talk some election integrity.
We've got a really big press conference on Tuesday they're
going to be doing at the Capitol to expose some
stuff that's been going on in a Rappaho county.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Oh yeah, that's where I love not great. Sorry, Ron,
I know, I'm sorry too. Oh gosh, very terrible.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
And then we're going to talk about something that have
gone on in Colorado that people aren't really aware of.
They're really bad, like bad, bad, bad, more bad than
the typical bad, and how we can stop them.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
So, you know, lots of fun, lots of hyjinks.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Heidi's hijinks. That is a new brand. That's we're gonna
call it. Whenever you fill in for Dan. That leaves
us only one thing to determine, and that is our
Friday fool of the week. I got to make sure
I spiked the football here. So Zach, So, Kelly, the
votes they've been tallied. Who is our Friday fool of
the week? What do you got?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
What's going on? Tell me the tally? Hello? Anybody Kelly?
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Zach?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Got to go with you?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I think I believe Comy, Yeah, I definitely Killy.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
It's just I told you should just do Hillary?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
What?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Why? Why? Hillary? Where did that come from? She's not
even a nominee.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
So this is what happens when she wanders off and
is not part of the show.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
James Comy with this performance on the Colbert Report. Oh no,
it's not called that anymore. Was Stephen Colbert earlier this week?
That beach and you saw this on the beach?
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Yeah, My wife and I, Patrice, were walking on the
beach and saw those numbers in shells on the beach.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
And you didn't do this. Somebody else did?
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Yeah, somebody else did it. We were on a walk
preparing for this week roll out of my book. She
looked at it and said, why can someone put their
address in the sands?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
All right, Well, we stood at it trying to figure it.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Looked at it trying to figure out what it was.
And she'd long been a server in restaurants, and she said,
you know what I think it is. I think it's
a reference to restaurants when you're eighty.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Six, something in a restaurant was off the menu. Yeah,
I said, no. I remember I was a kid.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
You'd say eighty six to get out of a place.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
This place stinks, it's eighty six. I was a bartender.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You would eighty six a customer if they were getting drunk, like,
that's eighty six on this like give them a low
proof alcohol or something like that.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
And so I said, I think it's a clever political message.
She said you should take a picture of it. I
said sure, and then she said you should instagram that
and boom, Well.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You're gonna lie about it.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You might as well give your wife credit for pointing
out that's a clever political message. No, the narcissists had
to take credit for that. Congratulations him calling our Friday
Fool of the Week, Hidie G and all Heidi's hijinks
up next, filling in for Dan Kaplis.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Have a great and memorable Memorial Day weekend. Everybody
It's been a long time reason.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Your mission should you choose to excel everything, everything you've done,
Let's come to this. I need to trust me.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
One last time.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That is the thirty second spot promoting the Memorial Day
weekends blockbuster film mission Impossible, the final Reckoning likely showing
at a theater near you. Rein schuling live back with
you here on a Friday edition, sending into your Memorial
Day weekend. Maybe it's already begun. You know, we're supposed
to get early release here at iHeart Denver, but that
(00:50):
didn't pan out for Zach and yours truly, so we're here.
We're here bringing you the hits, bringing you the goods,
and hopefully that might be one of them for you
this weekend, to go out to the theater and joy
as show on the big screen with the surround sound,
maybe on the Imax. That's how I watched it with
Christian Toto earlier. I think it was now almost two
weeks ago, and he offered up his review of this
(01:13):
at Hollywoodantoto dot com. Now, sadly Christian himself and Deborah
neither could stick around, so you're stuck with me for
this final hour.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Five seven seven three nine. Send those texts along.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
We'll get to Zach's pick for our Friday Fool of
the Week in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But Tom Cruise not one of those.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
He is perhaps the last action hero in more ways
than one, the last Hollywood box office straw. Then get
people out of their couches, off of the streaming services
into the theaters to watch a movie like this one.
Sometimes I wish that Toto and I and never rule
this out. Maybe in the future it could happen. But
(01:51):
a Cisco and Ebert type film review show he knows
way more about film. He's forgotten more about film than
probably I'll ever know. But I know what I like,
and some times were in kind of conflict with one another,
And a lot of times that comes.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Down to what I observe and where my.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Baseline expectations are for a film and do they match.
For instance, when I saw Axel F, the long awaited
sequel to the Beverly Hills Cop original, I think it
was a trilogy right in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The original is one of my all time favorites. And
you can understand why he's a Detroit cop.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Gil Hill, the actual chief of the Detroit Police back
in nineteen eighty four, stars as himself.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
In the film, and it's him. It's him. He also
ran for mayor Detroit at one point.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
But I just like the juxtaposition of here's this hardened
Detroit cop at a time when Detroit was probably at
its worst in the mid eighties after the riots of
the late sixties, and it was a desolate wasteland. You know,
Devil's Night, Ear hear of that, that's the night before Halloween.
Hey fires all the time, house is burning out. And
I'm talking classical houses with Gothic type architecture from the
(02:58):
turn of the century, the nineteen hundred, turn of the century,
and it was a sad time in Detroit, and a
lot of the downtown was a barren wasteland, kind.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Of what Denver's turning into right now.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But you take Axel Foley and his kind of street
smart sensibilities and put.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Him in Beverly Hills where they're not used.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
To dealing with big time crime, and the results are
both hilarious and gripping from an entertainment standpoint. One of
my all time favorite films. Beverly Hills comp Now, I
go into Axel left then going you know what it's
got to be good. It's got to be good. He's
got to deliver, and I just don't think it didn't.
I believe Christian liked it. I wouldn't say I hated it,
(03:36):
but if I had to give it thumbs up or
thumbs down, it's a thumbs down because I didn't feel
like they fleshed out enough of the backstory.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Catch us up on the life of Axel Foley. You know,
in the interim he has this falling out with his daughter.
We have no idea why they never paint in the
details there, and I felt kind of let down by that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So that would be one example.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Now, on the other sides of the spectrum entire, I
rather enjoyed Mission Impossible, the Final Wrecking. I had not
seen how many are there eight of them. I've not
seen all of them, and if you have, you'll probably
love this as part of the franchise. But Christian goes
into this, I think, and rightfully so, holding it up
to the standard that some of the original set and
doesn't measure up. And in his review, which you'll find
(04:19):
at Hollywoodantoto dot com, short version, there are some hits,
but maybe a few more misses.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Kind of a tepid review from Christian. I liked it
a bit more.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I always like to go on the IMDb scale of
I'll go through in all these movies. I'm such a nerd,
and it allows you, as you log in and have
an account with IMDb, the Internet Movie database, to score
a film from a scale of one star to ten. Okay,
and for instance for me, Shawshank, Redemption, Goodfellas, both Godfathers,
(04:52):
those are ten star movies, and that's a special category.
I don't just give out tens. But it takes a
lot for me to give like a fib or be law,
it has to be a real horrible movie, like an
old timer. I would give Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning
a solid six, solid six. I thought Tom Cruise was
excellent in it. I like him, I like the Ethan
Hunt character. But I think Christian felt that it was
(05:15):
a little bit overplayed. So I'll let you judge for
yourselves as to whether or.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Not you enjoy it. Have you seen this movie? Ye, yes, Zach.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I'm not sure if it's been for public consumption before
this weekend at all early release in theaters.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I haven't, and I'm honestly delaying because I'm trying to
go back through and marathon the precursors, because hey, if
this is the last one, let's see and it seems
from the trailer there's tie backs to the first several.
I'm curious to kind of revisit those and then go
into the theater experience one of.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
These things too.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I've gotten to the point now where if it's Tom
Cruise and I just like him.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Okay, I know he's got the weird scientology thing.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
But I tell you what, I share his views on
an over medicated America, and he was kind of front
of the curve on that one. Going on a thing
was a Matt Lauer at the time of the Today's Show,
I want to say it was late two thousands, saying
that we can't just put kids on drugs, or people
on drugs for that matter, any depressence, that this is
not the solution. You need therapy, You need to go
through and work through your issues. You need to address
(06:15):
root causes and not just put a band aid over
the problem. And it turns out, I think in larger
guard he's been proven right. Tom Cruise was also instrumental,
in my view in reviving the theater experience of going
to the movies when we were on a very dark
path in my mind from a mental health standpoint of
being shut ins because of COVID.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh, we're all going to lock it down, and that's okay.
We're just going to listen to what the government tells
us to do. Govern me harder, daddy.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And I got to a point where I like, no, no,
because you're telling me that I've got to stay home,
and now I'm questioning it. I don't want to do that.
I don't want to do that. And Tom Cruise went
on with Pat McAfee. You might remember him. He's the
punter for the Indianapolis Colts who has become one of
the more popular talk show hosts in the podcast sphere
and is highly sought after.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Is he an ESPN now? Is that who he's employed
by with the NFL?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And that's a huge show he really does, and I'm
sure that you consume a lot of that content that
he provides.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, he's got a lot of great interviews.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
You know, you have like Bill Belichick on weekly during
the season and some good diddits.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And this was one of them.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Because Tom Cruise comes down and explains, you know how
he helped. And I think he was the kind of
tip of the spear here, the driving force behind getting
Hollywood back to work at a time. And that was
not a popular stance to take when everybody said, no,
we can't risk the lives of all the people involved
in these films, never mind the fact that they're not
being paid, they're not working on projects. You know, they're
(07:39):
starving artists almost in a literal sense. Tom Cruise kept
the production going for Top Gun Maverick and here's how
he did the end around to borrow football term.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
You know, we had to finish Top Gun Maverick in
post during COVID, and I was basically everyone was kind
of like, no, you can't do this, No, you can't
do that. I was like always going take no for
an answer really bad. I'm like, okay, well there's got to.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Be a solution. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
So I was calling like, we have to set up
the rules. Let's make agreements so that we can get
back to work, and that I was calling governments and
getting agreements within and that I was telling sharing it
with the other studios and my friends, saying this is
how we're doing it. And then just kind of saying,
my crew is gonna get paid during this time. I
just kept everybody working.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's what I love about Tom Cruise, especially this ethos,
this this mentality of I'm not gonna accept no for
an answer.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Failure is not an.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Option, almost like Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. Right, how
do we view this positively? How do we reach our goal?
How do we make this a success? You know, do
not accept the alternative this. We're gonna get it done.
We're gonna find a way. I'm gonna make it happen.
I'm gonna do whatever it takes. I mean, I love
this from Tom Cruise, and here are some more specifics
(08:50):
as to how he got this done.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It was nothing short of a miracle for Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
And then slowly and not so slowly, before you know it,
we're able to just make sure that we're creating even
our orchestra for Top Gun Maverick. We were able to
get mics to people's apartments all over the world where
they're recording their instruments, and then combining those instruments to
create a live orchestra, and just showing people, look, we
(09:15):
can do this, we can do it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Safely. Let's create whatever rules so that we can move forward.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
And that's what I did, and I ensured the Top
Gun Maverick did not go to streaming, that it was
held for distribution. And I was calling all the theater
owners globally that are my friends for decades, and the
studio heads and all of us kind of said, look,
this movie's coming.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Out, period, it is coming out in theaters, and just kind.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Of worked with everyone and said, look, we're all going
to get through this. We're going to get through it.
It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It's amazing the power of positive thinking, but through persuasion
that you can have that effect on others who might
be naysayers. They might be negative mellies, but when Tom
Cruise comes, you go, no, we're going to do this movie.
It's going to come out in theaters. It's happening, so
you might as we'll get behind it. It's amazing the
impact of that force of will from Tom Cruise and
(10:06):
getting that movie done, getting it in theaters, and having
it revive again. The entire experience of going to the
movies for me, it was.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Like a.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Travel back in time, a reclamation project that made me
love movies again. I mean, I do love movies, but
I remember why I loved movies and.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Why it was so special to.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Go see them in the theater and not wait until
it came out on streaming services. So credit to Tom Cruise, really,
I mean, he helped drive this force. And I think
we're almost all the way back here. Calendar, you're twenty
twenty five, and hopefully we'll be all the way back
soon enough. But I still see some people out there
wearing masks.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Don't do that. Don't be one of those.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Full the week we got nominees, I want to get
Zach's take on this as well as yours. Five seven
to seven, three nine. You can send those votes in.
Got a couple coming in for James comey, he's one
of the nominees.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
The Seashells, the eighty six forty seven and the ridiculous
story that his wife and I and him.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
And my wife and I I didn't do it. His
wife and Jim coming upon these shelves. Somebody else put
them together.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Jared Polis on thirteen twelve, giving this false choice a
year in the workplace or a year at home and
you can't be disrespectful in the workplace, but it's not
a First Amend of violation.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
He doesn't mention any of the other public.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Places you might go And are our First Amendment rights
protected or are we more concerned about the feelings of
a transgender person being misgendered or dead named and is
it actionable? He doesn't get into that, A real shallow
kind of response to Ross Kaminski on his program this week.
Ross did a good job. Jared Polis did not. Jake
(11:46):
Tapper Alex Thompson each nominated in their own special way
for this book that they wrote about Joe Biden and
the cognitive disconnect that they have between eight.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You guys should have realized it yourselves in real time.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You don't think to question these narratives. You just take
what your spoon fed by the Biden administration and assume
everything when according to plan. Just like Doctor Evil with
the sharks, they have laser beams on their hands. Are
gonna assume everything went according to the plan? No, no,
if you would if it were Trump, rightfully, I gotta
take their word for it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm gonna do my own research.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm gonna do my own journal lisming, and they didn't
do that, I mean, just path the least resistance because
they couldn't afford to cost You'll Biden the election if
he were the nominee. So all those nominees, zach, your
quick take, your quick vote, you matter.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Lots of good contenders this week. I think to me,
the James Comey one stands out the most because not
only it's like you must have put those who's taken
photos of random c show I don't know alignments or
a replacements during a beach throw. I've never heard of
anyone doing that before. And then I think most people
could say, oh, I thought eighty six was like when
(12:53):
I worked in a restaurant, it's like, get this guy
out of here. I don't think like the former director
of the FBI can be like that's what.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Now, I also will say I think he did mean like,
let's just get the guy out office, not let's assassinate him.
But still like it's just I think it's really trying
our intelligence.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
In a vacuum, in the void.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I completely agree with you in any take that James,
call me any person saying.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Eighty six forty seven, oh, we want to get rid
of Trump.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
You're right, However, we operate in reality, and what actually
happened in this past calendar year was there was an
attempt on Donald Trump's life. Inches away from blowing his
head off in Butler, Pennsylvania, he was grazed.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
In the ear by a bullet. We can never forget this.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
So in the context of that actually happening, then no,
it is not conceivable that James Comy, to your point
former director.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Of the FBI about it's no big deal. It is
a big deal, and it's not right, and it's not
that I want to cancel him, but it's like we're
talking about earlier.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's free speech. You can say whatever he wants. He
will pay a consequence in the arena of ideas. I
believe that he has. He's had to backtrack off of that.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He's selling a book.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Johnny from Jesse Waters Prime Time confront him and a
book signing. It was hilarious. I haven't seen it, Google it,
check it out online. And they had this guy. I
gotta say this, Okay, it just figures it's a bookstore.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He's signing a book.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
James Comy and the guy that comes in to intervene
and escort Johnny out has gauges.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
In his ears, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So your ear lobe is like stretched out, there's this
big hole with a caliber, you know, gauge in there.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I wonder who he voted for.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I'm just come on, absolutely, Ralph says Ryan journalisming question marks.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Lmaoh.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, that's a very sardonic and intentionally sarcastic term for
somebody that's trying to do the act of journalism as
a verb, but they're obviously not. I just use that
as a punchline. I don't think it's original to me,
but I like using it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Journalisming, that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
And that's of those that pretend to be an objective reporter,
but they're absolutely not. The case point example I use
on a regular basis is Comrade Kyle here locally on
nine News Denver. Now he appeals to a swathe of
an audience that gets big ratings, you know, credit to him, Denver, Boulder.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's the corridor he's going for. That's the one he's getting.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I believe they're the top rated television news because of that.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That's fine, but all all Kyle Clark would need.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
To do to me is come out the way that
I have and say I have an editorial position. It
is oriented left of center. I am a liberal and
take everything I say with a grain of salt for
what it's worth. As I say about my positions, by
and large are right of center, not all of them,
not necessarily by the traditional sense. But I want to
be honest with the audience about where I'm coming from.
(15:46):
Who I am, who you would talk to if you
and I were hanging out at JD's shot having a beer.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
This is the guy you would talk to.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And I don't say anything differently other than I swear
a little bit less on the air, a little bit
a lot less, I hope. But yeah, full the week
vote coming in, Jake Tapper and will continue to count
those through the end of today's program. Here's another Texas
one on what I was just discussing with Tom Cruise
Ryan with.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
The cinematography of the planes flying was as much the
story as the story was. You cannot experience that film
on a small screen the way you do in a
large one. I'm glad Tom held it out and I'm
glad I saw it on a big screen.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Here here one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
It's not that I endorse everything that Tom Cruise is says,
or does you know a little.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Weird that he's with some much much younger women.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I'll be it there, beautiful, and you know, he can
do whatever he wants to do on a personal level.
That's his business, even though he's a Hollywood star. I
just like what he stands for in the filmmaking realm.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
And that he was kind of standing in.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
The breach the bulwark, not the website, Bill Crystal, but
the literal bulwark against being sedentary, staying at home is
shut ends, never going out to the theaters again.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I mean, remember back, people, wasn't that long long ago?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Okay, calendar year twenty twenty, even into twenty twenty one,
and there were people, many of whom that you were
rightfully scared because we didn't know what we didn't know.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
But they were all too willing.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
To surrender to our government, to our leaders who became
neo fascist Gretchen Whitmer, Jared Paulis, wear Dan mask, selfish bastards. Yeah,
real libertarian thereared What a phony fraud. I mean, I
want to vote for him just on a principle for
fool of the week because he's not a libertarian. There
is nothing about Jared Poulis his actions in office as
(17:35):
governor that is remotely libertarian, and he still presents himself
as this. Oh, I was really good friends with Thomas
Massey when I was in the house. That seems like
a lifetime ago. Maybe he was quasi libertarian there. He
is not now. He is dictatorial. He is in your face.
He is a government interventionist when it comes to guns,
when it comes to transing the kids. He tried to
(17:56):
kind of absolve himself of this in his interview with
Roskamenski by saying, hey, they took the real kind of
caustic language out about mis gendering dead naming.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
But the essence of the bill remains, if you.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Don't acknowledge the gender identity of your child, the child
that you conceived, if you're a woman, the child you
gave birth to, that you raised, who you named, who
you've cared for, who you've provided food, shelter, clothing for.
If that child comes to you says I'm the opposite
gender and you say no, guess what.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That can and will be used in a court of
law in Colorado to take your children away from you.
That is nuts, that is fascist, and.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
That is being fought in the course now by parent
rights groups. And I believe that's going to go all
the way to the Supreme Court, and Jared Poulos will
be revealed for the fraudulent quasi pseudo libertarian that he
was and is a timeout when we come back. Animals
are great, says Greg Guttfeld, but they're kind of scary.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Ryan's showing life.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Video that shows prison guards and Costa Rica catching a drug.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Smuggler and the culprit.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
As you can see, it's furrie and has four legs.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Guards coughed his cat as it jumped.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Over the prison fence at night with marijuana and crack
taped to its body.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Guard's carefully tough as packages from the cat's tiny body.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Removing the drugs from the fur.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Prison officials handed over that cat to an animal health
service to be checked out.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
No, my predecessor in this time slot, one Leland Conway,
notoriously has an aversion to cats. I would consider myself
more cat gnostic. Yeah, you got your dad joke for
a Friday. You're welcome, by the way, but actually that's
not even accurate.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I love cats for the most part.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I've gotten to a point in my life as I've
gotten older where.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I think I prefer dogs. I have a dog, Bruce.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
In fact, my fiance Kelsey has accused me of stealing Bruce.
I met her last August and Bruce was still but
a pop about one year old.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And initially I.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Think one of the things, one of the reasons we're
still together, why we're engaged, is Bruce immediately took a
liking to me, and she trusted Bruce as a judge
of character. And she has pointed out that she's gone
to say AA meetings where there were certain guys that
she thought were a little sketch, and Bruce growled at them,
so kind of a truth teller. Right, Well, he loved me,
(20:36):
and she said the first time I came over, we
hung out, we watched the movie or something, and I laughed.
He was crying for like the next half hour because
I was gone. It was so heartwarming to hear that.
But then over time, Hey, I got admit, he's kind
of become my dog. I don't know why, and I
feel a little bit bad about it because it does
feel like I kind.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Of swooped in and stole him.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Solution to that, though, is we're going to get another
puppy tomorrow, Chelsey and myself.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
It is one of these Muyan poodles.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
I believe it's like a medium sized poodle, so not
a toy or teacup. Right, there's teacup poodle toy, then
there's the muyan and the standard poodle is like a
little pony.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You can almost ride, they're that big.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
But those are the ones that always like, do really well,
like the movie Best in Show, and they got little
little butt patches that you kind of cut out on
their hips keep them warm. This one's in between.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Size and that's what Bruce is. He's a He's a
wheaten terrier poodle mixed. So they call him a woodle.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I don't know if you pronounced the h like hoodle,
but it's at that like a labradoodle, but a woodle.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So what happens in the mornings. She's an early bird.
I'm a night out.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I stay up late. He hangs out with me. We
do guy stuff. We watch sports on TV.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Loves it. I think he loves it. We go to bed,
she wakes up, takes him out. What does he do?
He comes right back in the bedroom WHEREYE am, and
it's so sweet. He'll right down on.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
The floor next to the bed by me until I
wake up, because I think he's checking. He's a herding
dog kind of thing, like an Australian shepherd.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He might remember that. They're that type of dog.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
They want heard, they're people, and he wants to make
sure I haven't died. I think that's the number one
motivation for Bruce is he thinks I might be dead.
And so if you ever see in the news Runyan
trulating pass is away. I found so many Two hours
later his dog was still by his side. That's what
you're going to hear and see. And today we had
(22:34):
some maintenance staff come to the apartment. They were installing
a water heater for what seemed like two hours. Tried
to put him in the guest bedroom and Bruce didn't
like that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
We had to keep him away from the workers.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
So I went out on the patio, had my coffee
and Kelsey comes out of me. She goes he mind
at first joins you like, of course he can. He
came out and he was fine with me as long
as I was there just hanging out.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
He's my buddy, he's my pal. So that's the story
of dogs with me.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Now this drug cat, however, this was CBS Chicago. There's
so many things that's like mad Libs here. You know,
you fill out, you remember mad Libs. You gen xers
out there, drugs smuggling, cat nabbed by prison officials in
Costa Rica, strapped with marijuana and crack.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Now I've been I've been.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Watching Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount with Jeremy Renner and
it takes place in this fictitious Michigan city that's downtrodden,
has a prison and they were using like drones to
drop drugs in or you know what have you. And
now apparently you can just use a cat. This poor
(23:45):
cat scratch fever. I mean, you got the crack scatter
scratch fever. But this is not even the wildest animal
story I have for you today.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I did some digging.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
It didn't take long, and I found two local stories
with animals that should be concerning to you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
This one from.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Nine News rabbit bat found in Boulder. I don't think
this is the first time this has happened either. I
look back on some Google searches and apparently it's happened
a few years ago. The rabbit bats, folks, they're back
in Boulder. It might be a joke there, I'll let
you fill in the blanks. The bat reportedly tested positive
for rabies after it came into contact with a dog
(24:21):
on the outdoor deck of a Boulder home.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I don't even know rabbit bats coming around, Bruce. That's
what it says here.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Though, according to a Friday release from Boulder County Public Health,
the bat might have had contact with a second dog.
To release said, but that information has not been confirmed.
We await reporting on this.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Is this going to be like, you know, a spider Man,
Peter Parker gets bitten by spider gets special powers. I
don't imagine that a dog getting bitten by a rabbit
bat becomes like bat dog. Now, Bruce is actually named
Bruce Wayne, and so he is Batman.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But I don't need him getting bitten by a rabbit
bat to prove that he's.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm kind of superhero he is anyway, So no rabbit bats.
That's a little concerning. And then there's this one. Police
ask residents not to disturb napping bear in loan tree.
Not that it's that is the locale Loan Tree, you know,
park Meadows south of Denver, not alone in a tree.
(25:21):
It's kind of confusing the headline. If you're not from Colorado,
it might not make sense. But let's get to the
details of this. From Kadivr. That's Fox thirty one. Locally,
police are keeping an eye on a bear spot an
in Loan Tree and asking residents to keep kids inside
and not approach the bear. The Lone Tree Police Department
was alerted to the bear sighting near C four seventy
(25:41):
on Thursday and said it left the area around four pm.
Police posted an alert on Facebook Friday just before eleven
thirty am, saying that the bear had returned. Return of
the bear look at this. The bear was spotted napping
in a bush in the Heritage Hills neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
To police, the bears just got tired. He needs to
take a break.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
The department said it is moditoring the situation and said
the Division of Wildlife is aware.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
At this time, no action is being taken.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The department said residents are asked to not approach the
bear and keep children inside. This is a little bit
funnier to me, as a michigander because we have actually
a state park, a national park called Sleeping Bear Dunes.
You or to the dunes. They're named after a sleeping bear.
You may even see a sleeping bear there. Do not
disturb a sleeping bear. This should go without saying. It's Darwinism.
(26:33):
I get it, but I think it bears mentioning since yeah,
I said it.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Another dad joke. Yeah, two good bears mentioning. Get it?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Every year, it seems especially it seems like in the springtime,
there are tourists who go to Yellowstone National Park.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I think most of you know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
And there are bison, and I'm not saying they're tame,
but they're not that afraid of humans. So you'll go
driving through and you might see several bison on the road,
and these morons decide they're going to approach a bison
and try to get close up pictures.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Use your telescopic lens on your camera to get a
close up photo. Because invariably we get these reports from
Kathy Walker, Rob Dawson, Kowa all the time man gored
by bison in a close encounter on roadway. Don't approach
(27:32):
the bison. They got those sharpened horns. They'll gore you
with them. Respect mother nature. You're not supposed to go
up to them and like pet them or they don't
want that. In fact, i've seen a few. You know,
you got Darwinism here. But you got parents involved. They
got kids in the back seat and they lower they
roll the window down and the kids leaning out and
(27:54):
the bison comes.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Up give boom, just boom, hit them right in the face.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
So we gotta be smart, be smarter than the bison,
and don't disturb the bears.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Don't feed the bears either.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So we got a crack cat, We've got a rabid bat,
we've got a sleeping bear. Garden variety animal experiences here
in Colorado. Take this final time out and we come back.
We'll have our Friday Fool of the week. I don't
know where Kelly is. It's like, where's Kelly's, where's Waldo?
Where does she go? I don't know why does she
go there? Don't know that either. Does she come back? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Maybe? Don't know for sure.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Though, we got Heidigan all filling in for Dan Kaplis
on this Friday as well, sending you into your Memorial
Day weekend after this on Ryan Schouling Life Friday edition
of Ryan Schooling Live, delivering the Memorial Day weekend for you.
Zach has a hand in that as well. Your text
(28:49):
at five seven, seven, three nine. Still a minute or
two to vote on our Friday Fool the Week. Jared Polis,
James Coming, Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson. Those are your nominees.
Another movie that I would recommend. I mentioned I do
the IMDb scale and so six for the New Mission Impossible,
a little bit better than average, and I think if
you're a fan of the franchise Tom Cruise, you'll like it.
(29:10):
Toto was pretty mediocre in the Middle of the Road
on it as well. But Marvel Studios with Thunderbolts David Harbor,
who I love, he was the sheriff and Stranger.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Things in that final season is coming out in October
on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
He plays a Russian superhero in this former Soviet kind
of throwback and he provides a lot of comic relief
and what is an interestingly serious themed movie. And I'll
summarize it this way to not spoil at all. Julia
Louis drive Has actually plays the villain Elaine from Seinfeld
in this so that's interesting. But it addresses the topic
(29:49):
of mental illness mental health in a way that I've
never seen a superhero movie do. And they got all
these like B list superheroes that's by design, that's intentional,
and they together and they're the Thunderbolts. And you'll find
out why when you see the movie. I think that's
still in theaters. If it is, I would give that
a seven. I really thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish,
(30:10):
and it was a fun ride, especially for the little
ones out there.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I think they can watch it too. Let's get to
some text.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Five seven seven three nine Stephen Littleton, retired a law
enforcement officer, wishing you a good and reflective Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I like how you said that, Stephen.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yes, Memorial Day is more than just kind of the
kickoff day to summer in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
You put your boats out in the lake and you
have a big barbecue and gathering and family and.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Friends, and that's all well and good, but the real
reason for the season, so to speak, is remembering those
who served and gave the ultimate measure, paid the ultimate
price in service to our country and those who are
we are remembering on Memorial day, Alexa is saying about
the sleeping bear in the neighborhood. Their parents, Our parents
(30:58):
live in that neighborhood. Just be careful. If you see
a bear sleeping in the bushes, leave him or her
bee It's fine. You're probably not going to be in
any kind of danger. The only exception, there's a reason
why they call people like Kelly and mama bear, is
if there's little cubs around. Oh boy, you want to
steer clear, because she will eviscerate you. I mean tear
(31:20):
your guts out of your belly to defend her babies.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
That's what a mama bear does.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
This one I got to get to this NBC News
pulling this sleight of hand. It's intentional and we always
have the course critiquing mass media.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
They are focusing in on the Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Administration's move on Thursday to van Harvard from enrolling international students.
Now there's been another liberal judge pop in and pop
up and put a stay on this. I don't know
how this can continue the Supreme Court of the United States.
SE's a step and you can't just have any random
judge you find going judge shopping in the most liberal
of area, San Francisco, Washington, d C. New York City,
(32:00):
just putting injunctions on everything the President of the United
States tries to do. I would say the same in
reverse if it were a Democratic president. You just want
to rural podunk Indiana and got a judge to do
the same. It's ridiculous. The judiciary, especially at that level,
should not have that kind of veto power over the
president of the United States. Anyway, NBC News, this is
(32:20):
how they frame this. The future Queen of Belgium may
face complications pursuing her master's degree at Harvard amid the
Trump administration's move on Thursday to ban the Ivy League
school from enrolling international students. They know, well and good,
that's not who we're concerned about, Heidi Ganal. It is
the America hating pro vamas, anti Semitic scourge that is
(32:44):
happening on American college campuses nationwide. And they try to
kind of cherry pick this example of oh, the future
Queen of Belgium and so no offense. But the suburban
women who still subscribe to People magazine and watch entertainment tonight,
they're gonna go, oh.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
No, not the Queen of Belgium. Ale.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Right, Well, after spending six years as a regent at
the University of Colorado and seeing.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
The Yeah, by the way, for doing that.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Oh, it was crazy during COVID and cancel culture and
all the things. But there is a lot of stuff
that goes down. In fact, at CSU, not SEU, China
was funding a lot of things that China's institute, China
do that again, China Confucius Institute.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Confucius says, when I'm gonna have it anymore, okay, you.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Get three and a half four years of that. I'm
so happy for you. I do.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I love it. I love it. But what about this
Confucians Institute.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Well, it's basically the Chinese funding research at college campuses,
and it's totally shady and it happens all over the
country and.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Other bad actors too.
Speaker 7 (33:48):
I ran, so I put forward a resolution to stop
that at see you.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I don't think it passed. I can't remember.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
I've blocked a lot of that from my part, right,
but yeah, it was. There was a lot of shenanigans
going on behind the scenes in high ed.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Now, what's the worst of the three or the most
fun shenanigans? Tom foolery or hijinks. Oh, you gotta pick one.
I like hijinks.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I do too. Hijinks is just willing nelly hijinks. OHI.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
And we have that to look forward to coming up
in Dan Cathlis's spot at four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
What else can the people count on listening for?
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Well, I have a very special guest, like a very
special guest, my daughter Tory Is.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
She's twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
She's on the front lines of like young conservative culture,
and we're going to talk about that, talk about Colorado.
She's the National committee woman for the Coward of Young Republicans.
And then we're also going to talk some election integrity.
We've got a really big press conference on Tuesday they're
going to be doing at the Capitol to expose some
stuff that's been going on in a Rappaho county.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Oh yeah, that's where I love not great. Sorry, Ron,
I know, I'm sorry too. Oh gosh, very terrible.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
And then we're going to talk about something that have
gone on in Colorado that people aren't really aware of.
They're really bad, like bad, bad, bad, more bad than
the typical bad, and how we can stop them.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
So, you know, lots of fun, lots of hyjinks.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Heidi's hijinks. That is a new brand. That's we're gonna
call it. Whenever you fill in for Dan. That leaves
us only one thing to determine, and that is our
Friday fool of the week. I got to make sure
I spiked the football here. So Zach, So, Kelly, the
votes they've been tallied. Who is our Friday fool of
the week? What do you got?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
What's going on? Tell me the tally? Hello? Anybody Kelly?
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Zach?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Got to go with you?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I think I believe Comy, Yeah, I definitely Killy.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
It's just I told you should just do Hillary?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
What?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Why? Why? Hillary? Where did that come from? She's not
even a nominee.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
So this is what happens when she wanders off and
is not part of the show.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
James Comy with this performance on the Colbert Report. Oh no,
it's not called that anymore. Was Stephen Colbert earlier this week?
That beach and you saw this on the beach?
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Yeah, My wife and I, Patrice, were walking on the
beach and saw those numbers in shells on the beach.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
And you didn't do this. Somebody else did?
Speaker 6 (36:08):
Yeah, somebody else did it. We were on a walk
preparing for this week roll out of my book. She
looked at it and said, why can someone put their
address in the sands?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
All right, Well, we stood at it trying to figure it.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Looked at it trying to figure out what it was.
And she'd long been a server in restaurants, and she said,
you know what I think it is. I think it's
a reference to restaurants when you're eighty.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Six, something in a restaurant was off the menu. Yeah,
I said, no. I remember I was a kid.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
You'd say eighty six to get out of a place.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
This place stinks, it's eighty six. I was a bartender.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You would eighty six a customer if they were getting drunk, like,
that's eighty six on this like give them a low
proof alcohol or something like that.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
And so I said, I think it's a clever political message.
She said you should take a picture of it. I
said sure, and then she said you should instagram that
and boom, Well.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You're gonna lie about it.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You might as well give your wife credit for pointing
out that's a clever political message. No, the narcissists had
to take credit for that. Congratulations him calling our Friday
Fool of the Week, Hidie G and all Heidi's hijinks
up next, filling in for Dan Kaplis.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Have a great and memorable Memorial Day weekend. Everybody
